Dolls of all kinds

Hey all! So one side effect from my erratic blogging schedule due to work is I've missed posting about a lot of new items from shops I've talked about before. Some shops have even totally revamped there entire store since I last posted on them. One shop that's put out alot of new stuff and changed it's look a lot was Mechatoys.

Mecha has been working like crazy, putting out all sorts of new things for her shop. And man, has her stuff just gotten better and better! One thing I really like about Mecha, besides how sweet she is (Seriously, she's like one of the most adorably nice people I know in SL) is how she'd constantly doing her own thing and putting out doll stuff that no one has thought of doing.

Case in point is her My Little Pony doll. This one just looks so cute! Half doll, half pony and all adorible! Plus, the bridal even acts as a collar, so you can leash them up that way. It comes in two colors blue or green.

Mecha's Cheerdoll is also done fantastically. The outfit is a metalic looking one and really stand out. The skin is also fabulous! The AV also comes wit ha fully posable hud as well and a wind up key.

Like I said above Mecha likes to do things unlike any other doll makers in SL do. Her Bratz AV is a perfect example. Patterned after the doll line of the same name, Mecha really hit it out of the park on this one. The best touch is the head, It's a sculpted, fully animated one, capable of showing different emotions. I really love how this one looks. It's so unique, and really looks different then anything else in SL.

Mecha's Powerpuff AV looks so tough but cute! I love how this one looks, and honestly I could see myself wearing it day to day. The hair especially fits my style pretty well, given my wild hair love hehehe.

Finally is the SailorToy. This one just looks fantastic. It's inspired by, obviously enough, Sailor Moon and wow does it look nice. Like the Bratz doll the face is a animated sculpted one, and it really works well. This hands down is my favorite one at Mechas right now.

Mecha's shop is located at http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Doll%20Works/108/66/22/ She just redesigned it to look almost like a 50's style diner. It came out wonderful. Pop by have a look and see what she has! She also has a website at http://mech-toys.zxq.net/ Take a look and see all she has.

Gooshy goo girl

So first thing first. I still have moderated comments on for the blog. And so far, I'm glad I do. Of the 17 comment posts made this week, all 17 were spam. So, yeah that sucks :( Don't feel funny about posting people! Believe me I wanna hear from you! Please please please post and let me know what you think about the blog. It can only lead to me making things better, or finding new stuff to post about.

On another note, I'm finally doing something I've been thinking about doing for a long long time. I'm entering an auction ;) The auction starts at 10am Second Life time (AKA pacific time) Sunday, March 28th at the Doll Works sim (http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Doll%20Works/187/191/23/). I just submitted my application tonight, so officially I'm not in yet, but when I hear the definitive word, I'll let you guys know. Half the proceeds from the auction go to helping pay for the Doll Works tier costs for operation. The other half goes to the person being auctioned. Odds are though I'm just gonna give it all to DW. I'm going up for a 2 day total auction time. I'd do more, but with work it's hard to get time set aside weekdays. I'm off weekends though hence the 2 days. Anyway, hope so see a lot of people there!

Finally, I want to show off a pretty cool AV I just got. The Goo Girl AV is honestly one of the most feature jam packed AVs I’ve gotten in a long while. First off the look of it is pretty cool. It’s translucent and has an animated texture on it as well so it looks just like its really oozing and dripping.

That’s just the start though. It also has a lot of scripted features as well. It’s fully color changeable with a TON of colors to pick from. I decided to show this off a bit by swapping colors for each picture. You can alter the body color, eye color, and any of the four included hair’s colors individual from each other. It also has shape changing features as well. You can change from a human looking Goo Girl to a bunch of animal hybrid forms, like a cat, dog, raccoon, fox, mouse, or even a dragon.

Also you can sprout tentacles from the back of it, up to four pairs total.

You also can add to the number of breasts the AV has, as well as….change the other naughty bits too.

I literally spent hours just playing around with all the different colors, shapes and features when I got it. It looks great in world all drippy and oozy. I might do a video of it showing it off so you all can see it better. Well, something to consider. If you want to see that lemme know!

Never judge a magic book by it's cover

First up I wanted to let everyone know I opened comments back up so anyone can post again. I didn't ever really want to take away anonymous posting, since it let a lot more people comment, but the span was driving me nuts. I know have it set on moderate comments, so I can weed out any garbage spam posts before they show up for everyone to see. I promise that's the only thing I'm gonna do moderation wise. So now all you anonymous readers feel free to comment away!

Anywho, not that long ago I was pointed in the direction of a shop called Kero's Toy Box (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fishii/85/149/34/) by a friend (though who pointed me there I can't recall. I swear, this time away form SL made me do a total brain dump). Checking the place out, I found lots and lots of fun toys. In particular, I was told to check out the magic books the shop sells there. After looking the shop over I was very very impressed by what I saw. The books particularly blew me away. What are the books you may ask? Well, each is a magic spell book that changes the reader or person your showing it to into a object (as long as your running RLV and have a relay on). And man do they look fantastic!

There's 5 books in all. The coolest ting about them isn't just that they change you, it's that they change you into something interactive. First is the chair transformation. Yes, someone can sit on you while your changed. I love how this one looks, especially the padding. Very well done.

Next is the Victorian sofa. This one is also sit on-able, though I will admit I like the chair better. Maybe because the body is more used to make the form. Still this one does look very lovely.

The statue book is pretty self explanatory. I will say I love the skin for this one. The blue and white colors of it really look quite nice, and are very different then most other statue skins I've seen out there.

Ah the picture frame. This is probably the oddest of the transformations, but it really has a unique look. One thing to note on it is hte picture is changeable. I've seen 2 different ones in my times hanging on the wall ;)

The final book is the motorcycle transformation, and boy is this one cool. Not only is it like the chair and couch and sit-able, but it's ride-able too! so get changed into one and anyone can take you for a spin ;) Also, I've noticed each time I've been it I've been a different color bike, which is a really cool touch.

Overall, the books are fantastic, and honestly, this is just scratching the surface of what is at Kero's Toy Box. One word of warning though! If you want to try them bring a friend! All the book AVs auto lock on, and it takes another person to release you. If you aren't careful, you could end up decorating the shop for a long long time ;)

The return of Yora and the Doll Life!

Hey all, I'm back! Sorry it's been so long. I really and truly meant to get postings done for the holidays, but RL has been crazy. I'm back in the job hunt after spending a month in a "I have a job if I can get certified for it" holding patter. Now that that's fallen through, I'm back to square one. So I'm still hunting, but 6 months of not working really sucks. Scraping to pay the bills is a pain in the butt, and obviously the reason I haven't been blogging much.

Still, it had been a while (Ack! The 8th of December was my last post!) and I figured I should keep on posting. After all, this blog isn't going to end til I leave SL, which I don't thinks gonna happen for a while.

Anyway, I've got a few items to show off to you guys. These are all from the shop Doll Life (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cadborosaurus/79/208/410), made by Bettie Binder. Her products are just wonderful! Very RLV enabled, and very very cool looking to boot. First up is the first thing I got from her shop, the Mannequin.

The one I got was the type 3 of the 3 designs available. You can wear it both with the hood and without.

Personally I like without myself ;) The suit is a restraint fans dream come true. you can self lock it for a variety of time with all sort of restriction option. Once you locked it though, depending on the level you picked, your stuck til someone else lets you out or until the timer runs out. plus, there's also a built in vibe, and a voting mode that lets others pick if you've been good or not. If you haven't, more time for you!


Next is one of the newer releases, the Cupid statue. This one doesn't have the self bondage options the Mannequin does, but it looks fantastic! it's fully RLV enabled so all the usual options are available. One of my favorite things is a script that's included with it. It lets you turn any hair you have into a matching marble hairdoo! that's such a great touch. Most statue things I've seen usually give you a default hair to use, but this adds a lot. Both are fully recolorable, thought I kinda like the default pink and white myself ;) I think I know what I'm gonna be for Valentine's Day!

I know it's a bit of a short post, but I have more planned soon. I'm gonna try my best to post as I can. I really don't want to take anywhere as long as last time LOL. One thing I'm curious about is the lack of comments. I made the blog so you have to be registered to post, because I was getting a lot of spam posts. You guys like? Dislike? Heck you don't even have to post a comment, jsut email me at Yoravig @ Hotmail . Com (no spaces obviously)

Til later all!

One Week of Kink pt 6: Virtoys for Boys and Girls

Virtoys is a place I covered rather heavily in the past, as I absolutely love the Busty AVs that Downy puts out. Like with Hybridz, Virtoys moved recently due to the adult changes coming to SL. In fact it's right next door to Hybridz now ;) http://slurl.com/secondlife/Valhalla/52/138/21


The new location is great, bigger then the old one with a lot of fun toys there to try. I highly recommend trying the changing room, btw. Just make sure to have a Virtoys product in your #RLV folder first.

While stopping by to see the new store, I realized I missed reviewing one of the things Downy put our, the sculpted doll mask. It's a great looking item, very different then the other doll items they sell. It looks very artificial, but it a good way. Downy wanted me to let everyone that her fiends Ingrid Breck and Rei Gynoid helped with skinning and sculpting it.




While I was there, I was also reminded of two AVs I got from someone named var Ash. Both are sold at Virtoys. The first is his latex pony suit.



It looks great overall. I love the legs especially. For some reason this is the first really nice pony leg like that I've seen in SL before that didn't look funny. The suit is fully RLV enabled as well. It looks particularly good mixed wit theh Black Sin Lovedoll Busty AV ;)

Next up is his Sex Cyborg AV



This one is more in line with the busty AV, just dripping sexually. There's a lot this one can do. The eyes blink, the mouth can open and close, and a CD-ROM tray pops out of the back of the head. Plus it comes with two sets of breasts. A regular, and a quad set ;)

Var looks to be someone to keep an eye on. I love his stuff so far and I gt a feeling we'll see more cool stuff soon. Oh that reminds me, if you have any suggestions for him on stuff to make, IM him and suggest it. ;)

One Week of Kink pt 5: Doll Works and Skara Brae

So, as I mentioned earlier, Doll Works has done a massive remodel. Almost all parts of the sim have been redone top to bottom. Heck, the only place still the same is the mall, where you first arrive at.



The sim is much more open now, with a lot more places to visit and hang out at. The Rubber Institute is still here as well, but now it's on ground level. Another thing you'll find is a lot more items at Doll Works use RLV now.

Overall, the remodel is a stunning success. The new foll works is a great place, as fun as it was before, but now with more to see and do. This includes visiting it's new neighbor, Skara Brae.



Now, Skara Brae is a very role play heavy sim. It's all about transformations, any kind, and way. Dolls, cows, robots, latex, anything at all. It's a pretty large sim too, with lots to explore. One thing about it though, you can't be a wallflower here. Don't expect to sit back and watch and get sucked into a RP. You need to be active to get the most out of it here.

Personally, I haven't done much RPing here so far (The most time I spent here was when I was locked in the balloon suit, just being displayed) mostly due to the fact that I didn't have a lot of free time. Now however, that's changed. I'm going to try to dive into Skara Brae and see what happens.

One Week of Kink pt 2: Chess the Best of SL

Phew, just made it in under the wire with today's post! Wanted to get it up earlier, but it's been a bit busy. Still I promised a post a day and I aim to keep that promise

Today, I'm gonna show off two more chess piece AVs from Jojo. First up is the pawn. As with all of them, it can change color to both back or white



Appropriate enough, the pawn looks super subish. The chains and hood make it looks like an extremely tightly bound sub, very vulnerable and ready to be fully manipulated ;)

The next is the Knight.



Jojo did this one to look pretty ponygirl-ish and like the pawn it fits well in this bondage chess set ;)

Jojo is also working on the last two pieces right now, as well as a full size board. Yes, soon you can be locked as a chess AV and used as a piece in a life size game. In fact, a place I'm going to talk about tomorrow is planning a game soon. Where is it? Tune in tomorrow to find out!

One Week of Kink pt 1: Hybridz AVs!

Hey all I'm back! Fist up, let me respond to a rumor brought up. No, I'm not leaving SL. Honestly, I'm not sure I ever will. I enjoy it to much and I love hanging out with all my friends there. I did just graduate. I have a Bachelors of Science now in Technical Management. Why not game programing? Well, as cool as it was there were two little problems with it. One was the fact that that degree is pretty narrow, while the one I got is broader. It lets me qualify for a lot more jobs. The second is I'm not a great programmer. I'm not bad mind you, but I'm not the best. So, given how competitive the field is, I thought a switch would be best.

Now that I'm graduated, what's that mean? Well, right now I'm unemployed. I had a job on campus, but it was a federal work study one and you have to be in school to keep it. So I'm looking for work. This does have one upside though. I finally have free time to catch up on my posting here! So this week, I'm going to aim at doing a post a day to show off all the stuff I've acquired, to let you know of a few new places, and to update a lot of SLURLs!

First up is a few items from an old favorite: HybridZ. They recently moved to a new shop. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Valhalla/59/59/22 due to the adult verification. I think there might be a few other shops moving too, so I'm going to try to update the links to them as I do new reviews.

First up is the Latex Dolly suit.



I absolutely love this one! It's just sooooo pink! I swear I smell bubblegum just looking at it. This is one of my all time favorite doll suits not just from Hybridz, but in SL at all. It's so cute and sexy, and slutty and adorable all rolled into one!

The next suit from them is the Taille doll suit. It's an odd looking one as you can see.



It's still a pretty kinky looking one. No arms along makes it stand out a bit, but the odd waist design is what really does it. It looks like your upper body is on a flexible spring. I can almost imagine it bouncing around. :D

Both suits are fully RLV enabled like all Hybridz suits. I've spent many an hour locked in the Latex Dolly :)

Ok, that's it for right now. But I have a tone more to show off this week! Til tomorrow!

A new post! Finally!

Hey all! Sorry about the delay in posts. I know I said I had a New Years resolution to update weekly, but obviously I couldn't keep that. The main reason for this is real life. Given this is my final term in school, things have gotten very hectic. I graduate June, so have allot to take care of before then. Also, I hate to say it, but I've had a bit of a writers block lately. Odd I know, since this is a blog, but I just have to be in the right mood to write here.

Anyway, I'm going to try to start posting again. I still have plenty of things I haven't shown off to you guys, and plenty of stories to tell as well. Case in point, the first item in today's post, the Hybridz Balloon suit.





This suit is fully RLV enabled, like almost everything at Hybridz. When your in the suit, you float and bob along, just like a balloon. Someone can grab your string and pull you along with them. It also has a post to tie you off to as well. Kris at Doll Works locked me in this suit for a strait week. I was isolated the whole time, so I couldn't speak, hear, see anyones names, or IM anyone but Kris. I pretty much was just a balloon, tugged along where she wants to take me. I had no control at all. Heh, it was a pretty fun week overall, just basically being an object ;)


Hybridz also has a balloon dog suit as well. This one has all the same features as the other suit, but, it looks like a floating balloon dog.




Next is another chess AV from Jojo, the rook. I love how this one looks. It's both a castle, like the classic look of the rook, and a cage. The wearer's head is obscured completely, leaving their upper torso visible in a cage like display. It's very nice, and really makes me want the rest of the set now. When Jojo releases the full set, I definitely want to see if I can get a life size AV chess game. All we need is 32 willing volunteers to be locked til the game is over ;)

Strange Changes; Of Bikes and Dolls

After about a week all sealed up, Kris finally released me from the Latex Object suit. She did tell me it was just until she finishes the upgraded version, so I might be blogging from inside that suit again soon, but this time with more RLV restraints. Anywho, given the time I was in the suit I couldn't really snap any pictures of anything I gor (Kinda hard to wear anything) I figured I'd show somethings I've been meaning to get up for a while.

First up is another new doll suit from VirToys, the Pussyfaced suit. Yes, it's just what it sounds like. Instead of a mouth, you have a pussy.The suit also has a few diffrent things to put on the forehead, such as "slut" It's entirely RLV lockable, and I must say it's a great looking suit. Very humiliating to wear, which is good since lately I've found myself liking to be humiliated a bit. ;)



Sorry so much of it's blocked in the picture, but I didn't want to get it pulled due to content. If you want to see all of it, visit me in world and I'll be happy to show you ;)

Next is a motorcycle girl AV. I've always had a a thing about being a bike girl for some reason so this was perfect ;) The best thing is it's really a ridable vehicle. The rider is *ahem* mounted on you and away you go ;) It's not finished so far, but honestly I love the way it looks! IM Loksley Robinson for more info since he was the one that made it.



Well, that's it for now! More soon. I'm finally getting back into the blogging groove, so I'm looking for lotsa fun stuff to post about ;) And ending on that note I want to remind everyone in SL that I run RLV all the time and have my relay on 90% of the time ;) See ya!

Chess and barrels

In my last post I showed off Jojo's Jill in the box and rocking horse. Since then, she released two more AVs, and of course I had to snap them up. First was her bondage barrel. It's a RL lockable barrel very similar to Bastion Mage's art. When you get in it, it even pushes a face out of the front, making it very obvious someones stuck inside. It a really cool effect.



Thanks to Beverly Salming who modeled inside the barrel for this picture. Why didn't I do it? Keep reading ;)

Jojo also put out her chess queen AV, my favorite one she's done so far. It's color changeable, meaning you can make it black latex or white marble. It also wearable. This means you can get locked in it them teleported while wearing it. So it's portable! I suggested to Jojo that she should do a full set. I mean how cool would it be to see a full latex bound chess set ;) If you like the idea and like this AV, bug her about it and maybe she'll do it.




Since this one was an outfit, I put it in my #RLV folder. I don't think I've mentioned this yet. Basically, if you use the Restrained Life viewer, anyone with a RL remote can access this folder as long as you have a relay on.. They can make you wear anything in it and you pretty much can't do anything about it. this lead to some fun the other day. I was at Doll Works when I bumped into Kris Shiras, the owner of the place. She was chatting with Jojo. She also knew I have RL on almost all the time and that I have all sorts of goodies in my folder. So, she put the chess AV on me and locked me in it.

Well, after tping me to Jojo's shop in the Doll Works mall, she left to work on something else, teasing me every so often about it. Finally a few hours later she came back and gave me a AV. I stuck it in my #RLV folder like she told me to (I really didn't have a choice. I had to do it or I was stuck for who knows how long ;) ). She then put it on me and turned me into a Latex Object




So, this is what I'm stuck as right now. She didn't say how long it would be for. She did mention doing upgrades, which has me a bit curious/nervous. Still, this won't keep me from blogging. And at least I can walk now ;) Though I do make latex creaking noises while I do.

A few toys I got for Christmas before the New Year

Hey all!

Sorry to be so lax in updates lately. A combination of finals, the holidays, and a nasty snowstorm threw me all outa loop. But I'm back! And boy do I have a few posts to make.

First thing first, in my last posts I talked about Doll Works, a friend of mine in SL mentioned I forgot to include the SLURL. So here it is. http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Doll%20Works/221/26/244


Next up, a good friend of mine Dreampaint Loon, as you may or may not know, has a blog of her own. http://dreampaint.livejournal.com/ She's a very talented artist and creative artist, as the pictures on her blog prove ;) Dream, just to refresh everyones memeory, is hte one that made he amazing gingerbread, candy cane, and chocolate skins I showed a while back. Recently, a mutual friend, Jojojojo Tenjin, made two of her drawings into SL AVs! And I managed to get to try both out ;)

First up is a latex Jill in the box. Yes, the handle really does crank and you pop out of it ;) Plus it's RLV lockable, so you could end up being a toy for a really long time ;)

Next up is a ridable rocking horse. It's also RLV compatible. Plus it has two saddles, a normal and one with a few extras to keep the rider mounted ;) Both are great, making you feel more then a little bit like a helpless toy ;)

Dream also gave me two other AVs she made based on other art she had done. These are Medical and Labratory Golems.

The Medical one is white and the lab one is the green one. Both are wonderfly detailed. They arn't RLV enabled, but I might just get a few scripts to drop in the hoods to make them lockable ;) Speaking of the hoods, these are some of the best Sculptie ones I've seen (Sculptie, for those who don't know (I think this is my first time mentioning it) are objects in SL that are sculpted into a shape rather then built from a bunch of little prims)

Dream is selling both the Golems at the Doll Works mall. She also has her home shop located here http://slurl.com/secondlife/Spinylor/136/86/73/

One last thing before I go. Here's my annual Christmas card I sent out this year ;)

Hope everyone has a great New Year's Eve! Talk to you tomorrow!
